Looking for peoples views/impressions of Import Builders

I'm planning on having import builders build my k24 block and type s head. I wanted to have it sleeved, wiseco coated pistons, rods, balanced and blueprinted for the block. For the head ported and polished, 3 angle valve job with new valve train, retainers springs the whole 9 yards. Jeff quoted me at $4200shipped which doesnt seem to bad to me. My question is how is there quality of work and how are the products that they make themselves. The head parts and rods would all be ibspec.

Re: (sleeper dc5)

ive only heard positive things about this shop... go to their sites

http://www.importreview.com
http://www.importbuilders.com

if you look at some of the dynos for B-series, i would consider them to be one of the best at what they do.
